-- Old Muytens: and the annalist, Baron de Tessé, has not concealed his profound dissatisfaction at Old Muytens' conceit "to have himself had something to do with the work of whatever master of eminence might pass through his hands." Whence it was,--the Baron goes on to deplore,--that much detriment was done to that excellent piece "The Recognition of Achilles," by Rubens, through the perversity of Old Muytens, "who must needs take on him to beautify every nymph of the twenty by the bestowment of a widened eye and an enlarged mouth." I, at least, have left eyes and mouths everywhere as I found them, and this conservatism is all that claims praise for -- what is, after all, a)ke/leustos a)/misqos a)oida/ (Ag. 979). No, neither "uncommanded" nor "unrewarded": since it was commanded of me by my venerated friend Thomas Carlyle, and rewarded will it indeed become if I am permitted to dignify it by the prefatory insertion of his dear and noble name.

ups the assemblage, And those that bring to men winter and summer Bright dynasts, as they pride them in the aether -- Stars, when they wither, and the uprisings of them. And now on ward I wait the torch's token, The glow of fire, shall bring from Troia message And word of capture: so prevails audacious The man's-way-planning hoping heart of woman. But when I, driven from night-rest, dew-drenched hold to This couch of mine -- not looked upon by visions, Since fear instead of sleep still stands b a day-long lightness Revealing, and of dances the ordainment! Halloo, halloo! To Agamemnon's wife I show, by shouting, That, from bed starting up at once, i' the household Joyous acclaim, good-omened to this torch-blaze, She send aloft, if haply Ilion's city Be taken, as the beacon boasts announcing. Ay, and, for me, myself will dance a prelude, For, that my masters' dice drop right, I'll reckon: Since thrice-six has it thrown to me, this signal. Well, may it hap that, as he comes, the loved h

eaking in mind's scope -- persuade her. CHOROS. Follow! The best -- as things now stand -- she speaks of. Obey thou, leaving this thy car-enthronement! KLUTAIMNESTRA. Well, with this thing at door, for me no leisure To waste time: as concerns the hearth mid-navelled, Already stand the sheep for fireside slaying By those who never hoped to have such favour. If thou, then, aught of this wilt do, delay not! But if thou, being witless, tak'st no word in, Speak thou, instead of voice, with hand as Kars do! CHOROS. She seems a plain interpreter in need of, The stranger! and her way -- a beast's new-captured! KLUTAIMNESTRA. Why, she is mad, sure, -- hears her own bad senses, -- Who, while she comes, leaving a town new-captured, Yet knows not how to bear the bit o' the bridle Before she has out-frothed her bloody fierceness. Not I -- throwing away more words -- will shamed be! CHOROS. But I, -- for I compassionate, -- will chafe not. Come, O unhappy one, this car vacating, Yielding to this nec

CHOROS. Empowered am I to sing The omens, what their force which, journeying, Rejoiced the potentates: (For still, from God, inflates My breast song-suasion: age, Born to the business, still such war can wage) -- How the fierce bird against the Teukris land Despatched, with spear and executing hand, The Achaian's two-throned empery--o'er Hellas' youth Two rulers with one mind: The birds' king to these kings of ships, on high, -- The black sort, and the sort that's white behind, -- Appearing by the palace, on the spear-throw side, In right sky-regions, visible far and wide, -- Devouring a hare-creature, great with young, Baulked of more racings they, as she from whom they sprung! Ah, Linos, say -- ah, Linos, song of wail! But may the good prevail!

there, in the household seated, -- Young ones, -- of dreams approaching to the figures? Children, as if they died by their beloveds -- Hands they have filled with flesh, the meal domestic -- Entrails and vitals both, most piteous burthen, Plain they are holding! -- which their father tasted! For this, I say, plans punishment a certain Lion ignoble, on the bed that wallows, House-guard (ah, me!) to the returning master -- Mine, since to bear the slavish yoke behoves me! The ship's commander, Ilion's desolator, Knows not what things the tongue of the lewd she-dog Speaking, outspreading, shiny-souled, in fashion Of Até hid, will reach to, by ill fortune! Such things she dares -- the female, the male's slayer! She is . . . how calling her the hateful bite-beast May I hit the mark? Some amphisbaina, -- Skulla Housing in rocks, of mariners the mischief, Revelling Haides' mother, -- curse, no truce with, Breathing at friends! How piously she shouted, The all-courageous, as at turn of battle

The prudent army-prophet seeing two The Atreidai, two their tempers, knew Those feasting on the hare The armament-conductors were; And thus he spoke, explaining signs in view. "In time, this outset takes the town of Priamos: But all before its towers, -- the people's wealth that was, Of flocks and herds, -- as sure, shall booty-sharing thence Drain to the dregs away, by battle violence. Only, have care lest grudge of any god disturb With cloud the unsullied shine of that great force, the curb Of Troia, struck with damp Beforehand in the camp! For envyingly is The virgin Artemis Toward -- her father's flying hounds -- this House -- The sacrificers of the piteous And cowering beast, Brood and all, ere the birth: she hates the eagles' feast. Ah, Linos, say -- ah, Linos, song of wail! But may the good prevail!

een gipsy, Beggar, unhappy, starved to death, -- I bore it. And now the Prophet -- prophet me undoing, Has led away to these so deadly fortunes! Instead of my sire's altar, waits the hack-block She struck with first warm bloody sacrificing! Yet nowise unavenged of gods will death be: For there shall come another, our avenger, The mother-slaying scion, father's doomsman: Fugitive, wanderer, from this land an exile, Back shall he come, -- for friends, copestone these curses! For there is sworn a great oath from the gods that Him shall bring hither his fallen sire's prostration. Why make I then, like an indweller, moaning? Since at the first I foresaw Ilion's city Suffering as it has suffered: and who took it, Thus by the judgment of the gods are faring. I go, will suffer, will submit to dying! But, Haides' gates -- these same I call, I speak to, And pray that on an opportune blow chancing, Without a struggle, -- blood the calm death bringing In easy outflow, -- I this eye may close up!

KLUTAIMNESTRA. And this thou hearest -- of my oaths, just warrant! By who fulfilled things for my daughter, Justice, Até, Erinus, -- by whose help I slew him, -- Not mine the fancy -- Fear will tread my palace So long as on my hearth there burns a fire, Aigisthos as before well-caring for me; Since he to me is shield, no small, of boldness. Here does he lie -- outrager of this female, Dainty of all the Chruseids under Ilion; And she -- the captive, the soothsayer also And couchmate of this man, oracle-speaker, Faithful bed-fellow, -- ay, the sailors' benches They wore in common, nor unpunished did so, Since he is -- thus! While, as for her, -- swan-fashion, Her latest having chanted, -- dying wailing She lies, -- to him, a sweetheart: me she brought to -- My bed's by-nicety -- the whet of dalliance.
